Steel I Beams for Floor Joists High-Load, Fire-Resistant & Durable Solutions



Did you know 40% of homeowners report floor sagging within 10 years of using traditional wood joists? Rot, termites, and weight limits plague wooden supports. Now imagine a solution that triples load capacity, slashes maintenance costs, and lasts 75+ years. Steel I beams for floor joists are revolutionizing construction—and your project deserves this upgrade.

Technical Superiority: Steel vs. Wood I Beams

Steel I beams carry 3x more weight than wood equivalents. A 10-inch steel joist spans 18 feet without intermediate supports—wood needs 50% more beams for the same span. Fire resistance? Steel withstands 1,700°F for 2 hours (ASTM E119), while wood fails in 45 minutes. Ask yourself: Can your floors survive these tests?
